Page 303. line 14. _The lord l'Isle._] The children of the great lord
Talbot were, by his first marriage with Maud Neville, three sons, viz.
Thomas, who died in his life time; John who succeeded him as earl of
Shrewsbury, &c.; and sir Christopher Talbot, knight. By his second
marriage with Margaret daughter of Richard Beauchamp earl of Warwick,
he had John (viscount l'Isle, so created in reference to the titles
of his mother's family), who being already signalized by his valour
on many great occasions, fell gloriously, together with his father on
this day. He served with two bannerets, 4 knights, 73 men at arms, and
800 archers. He left issue Thomas Viscount l'Isle who, in 1470, was
slain in a private feud with the lord Berkeley, at Wotton-under-edge in
Staffordshire.
Page 303. line 8. _Prisoner._] William lord Molyns, who was killed
before Orleans in 1429, left only a daughter, who was married to Robert
Hungerford, esq. grandson of Walter lord treasurer Hungerford, in 1441.
This Robert Hungerford, lord Molins in right of his wife, was eldest
son to Robert lord Hungerford, son of Walter, and served in this year
(1453) with one banneret, 2 knights, 56 men at arms, and 600 archers.
He remained a prisoner for seven years, after which, siding with the
Lancastrians, he was attainted 1 Edw. 4. and beheaded after the battle
of Hexham, two years afterwards.
Page 304. line 1. _Count de Candale._] John Captal de Buche, (see
before p. 160.) was created earl of Kendal by king Henry VI.; and his
descendants retained the title metamorphosed into that of _Candale_
for several generations after they had submitted to the crown of France.
Page 306. line 12. _Lord de Lavedan._] Probably, Raymon-Garcias, lord
of Lavedan, who married Bellegarde daughter of Arsien V, lord of
Montesquieu.
Page 310. line 10. _Lord Cameise._] Probably, Camois. The male line of
this _barony_ was extinct in the time of Henry V; but Dugdale adds,
"of this family (without doubt) was also sir Roger de Camoise knight,
who in 22 H. 6 (1444) was taken prisoner in the wars of France, and
there detained in great misery. Whereupon, Isabel his wife, had an
assignation of 40l. per annum for her life, to be paid by the mayor and
commonalty of the city of London." Qu. Is this the same sir Roger de
Camois, released from captivity?
